France vs Romania Euro 2024 Tickets

The UEFA European Championships are the second biggest international football tournament in the world and an occasion that all football fans mark in their diaries, not least because it rolls around only every four years.

Trying to get tickets for the big finals of the tournament is something of a nightmare unless, of course, you buy your tickets via SeatPick.

If you look to get your tickets via the UEFA ticketing portal, you should be prepared for disappointment. The way in which they release tickets is something to behold. The first major release of tickets comes before the draw for the competition is even made, which means you apply for tickets only knowing the venue and the date of the game, not the identity of the two teams playing.

Clearly, if you have a specific nation you want to follow or a game, then this route is not a realistic one to take. The second tranche of tickets that is released is done after the draw, but by then, there are fewer tickets available, and there is then a massive amount of interest, leading to millions of applications, therefore reducing your chances to practically zero.

At SeatPick, you’ll always find a wide range of ticketing options for every game, including the one you are searching for. The reason we can proudly boast this fact is due to our alignment with hundreds of the most trusted ticket reseller sites out there. This means we have a larger pool of tickets for fans to shop from.

It’s therefore also easier to find deals that suit their budgets and schedules. Plus, our platform is super easy to use, so why not check it out now? You can see what’s available for France vs Romania right here.

France vs Romania UEFA Euros Tournament Record

France hosted the very first UEFA European Championship as one of the four clubs that qualified for the tournament in 1960. They then suffered a surprise Semi-Final loss to Yugoslavia; despite being 4-2 up with 15 minutes to play, they crashed out 5-4.

Their next involvement in the finals didn’t come until 1984, when they were once again hosts and, on this occasion, did not need to secure qualification on merit. Michel Hidalgo then led his high-quality side, who had done so well in the 1982 FIFA World Cup, to the title.

Michel Platini racked up two group-stage hat-tricks before scoring in the Semi-Final against Portugal and then the final against Spain.

They suffered a horrendous qualifying campaign for the next edition, winning just one of their eight games, but bounced back to win all eight ahead of the finals Sweden in Euro 1992 but went out in the group stage.

Their next decent run came in England at Euro 96, where they lost to the Czech Republic on penalties in the Semi-Finals.

Euro 2000 saw the nucleus of their 1998 FIFA World Cup-winning side put on a show as France clinched their second UEFA European Championship crown. They did so by battling back from a goal down to defeat Portugal in the Semi-Finals and repeated the feat against Italy in the final in Amsterdam.

Euro 2004 and 2014 saw them eliminated in the Quarter-Finals, and the tournament in Austria and Switzerland in 2008 proved a disaster, with France failing to win a single game.

France hosted the European Championships for a third time in 2016 and once again impressed in front of their own fans. They finished top of their group, conceding just one goal from the penalty spot, and then eased past the Republic of Ireland, Iceland, and Germany to book a final against Portugal at the Stade de France in Paris.

The game was something of a one-sided affair, especially once Cristiano Ronaldo was subbed off with an injury mid-way through the first half. However, the Portuguese held strong, and substitute Eder fired home a long-range belter in the 109th minute to win the game.

Romania have taken part in five UEFA European Championship finals, but on four of those occasions, they have failed to get out of their group and not win a single game in the process.

The exception to this rule came in 2000 when they pulled off a stunning win over England in their last group game, thanks to a late winner from Ioan Ganea. That victory saw Romania go through, and England were knocked out.

They faced Italy in the Quarter-Finals in Brussels, with Francesco Totti and Pippo Inzaghi scoring in an easy 2-0 win.

France vs Romania Head-to-Head

France and Romania have met in UEFA European Championship clashes on seven occasions.

The first of these to take place in the finals of the tournament came at Euro 96. The two sides played out a hard-fought game at St James’ Park, with Christophe Dugarry netting the winner.

The next finals clash was in 2008 when the two teams drew 0-0 in Zurich, and neither team progressed past the group phase.

The third finals clash took place in Paris, with Olivier Giroud and Dimitri Payet scoring in a 2-1 France win in the opening game of the competition.
